P12–28 CAPITAL RATIONING: NPV APPROACH A firm with a 13% cost of capital must select the optimal group of projects from those shown in the following table, given its capital budget of $1 million.
Calculate the present value of cash inflows associated with each project.
Select the optimal group of projects, keeping in mind that unused funds are costly.
1. In the context of capital budgeting, what is an opportunity cost?2. Given the choice, would a firm prefer to use MACRS depreciation or straight-line depreciation? Why?3. In our capital budgeting examples, we assumed that a firm would recover all of the working capital it invested in a project. Is this a reasonable assumption? When might it not be valid?4.

Because we treat projects like minifirms in our evaluation process, we include financing costs because they are relevant at the firm level.” Critically evaluate this statement.
